New market study, "Egypt Real Estate Report Q3 2011", has been published

New Business research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
 
June 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Egypt's commercial real estate sector has benefited from economic growth and increasing demand for all types of property. The recent civil unrest, political turmoil and now a government crackdown on corruption have done little to stifle demand. However, years and years of underdevelopment and a population growing in size and spending ability have produced a structural shortage of property. To meet the long-term needs of a country with a growing population, the government plans to create nine satellite cities, two of which we include in our in-country interviews.

Our local sources report that there is very little vacant space available at the moment. Rents have therefore risen. In the first half of 2010, the increases were relatively modest. Giza saw both the largest increase - for retail space - and no movement in rental costs for industrial space. The second half of 2010 gave a different picture. Rents soared everywhere except for office space in Cairo. Our in-country sources indicated that, through H210, retail rents soared from around US$20-40 per m2 per month to US$150- 200. Gains are expected to continue throughout 2011, but not with the same intensity.

Some of the key opportunities currently in the real estate market:

* Booming population size and improving income levels offer all sorts of opportunities for the real estate market across all sub-sectors. It creates local demand, which is much tougher in times of trouble than overseas investment demand, which often flees at the first sign of difficulties.
 * The satellite cities offer developers the chance to undertake mega projects, crossing all subsectors. The government is supporting these expansions with improving rail links and other assistance to make the cities function well.
 * The EGP1.4bn upgrade to Hurghada International Airport, including a new runway and terminal due to open in 2012, is designed to double the airport's capacity to 14mn passengers per year (according to ERC). For developers that target the tourism industry, this will bring in very welcome guests. ERC will benefit particularly, as its only development, Sahl Hasheesh, is close by.


Some key risks to the current real estate market:

* The threat of legal action is a cause for concern for developers, not least because while the process is under way the developers are unlikely to be able to sell any land. Cash flow problems may put some previously successful developers out of business. Reuters reported in March 2011 that 'PHD... faced a battle for survival this year, despite a record year for sales in 2010'. It references two lawsuits that the company is currently involved in.
 * The risk now is that the country's unrest may delay or stall some projects, reducing the amount of supply that will come online in the upcoming years. Demand, however, is likely to recover (if it drops at all) once the country has settled down again.
 * Interest in Egypt from foreign multinationals that had been increasing may now falter, at least for a year or two.
 * For properties targeted at the middle class to become available, the industry needs this group to have good access to credit, as they may be left behind by the mass of property currently available to high-income families and the new schemes designed to help low-income purchasers.
